So it turns out that Error Log, the guy who lost a debate to Mango, is actually the alt of a friend of LoreDad, a HOI4 YouTuber and former Kalter Krieg developer. The channel is completely astroturfed and this explains why LoreDad propped up EL since day one. There's more on KF including Error Log praising himself on Discord so have fun with that.

They started working on TFR about the same time as realism clique took over TNO. They did the "TNO style and feel" better than the nuTNO itself and made vastly more contetent and all TNO has to show is Fiji skeleton, Mexico demo, Brazil demo and Ukraine demo.
No wonder TFR poached TNO player base.

Trying to make the old TNO music mod (Last Waltz of Europe) work with Requiem and it's a fucking pain.
At first TLWOE simply doesn't show up and is replaced with the default TNO soundtrack. I change a line of code it appears but it's without any songs. I change another line of code it breaks both TLWOE and the TNO Sountrack.
I fucking hate coding.

>>2333411
Iberia has been in fine tuning since last September or something so you might not want to celebrate just yet. Although yes, it's probably doing better than the German rework.

>>2333425
Their next release is supposed to be be Berezniki a new Russian unifier. After that I think they're doing fixes across Russia but I'm not sure. Most QoL and fixes they've done has been fixing the combat and economy is a bunch. They don't really have any big lolcows though. Five was a bit of one early on with his many announcements before the others reined him in but that's pretty tame. They also had a lead named Jeff that ragequit one day, leaked mostly TNO documents to "own" them and did all of this under his real account. But that was over as soon as it started. Surprisingly, orienting your mod around gameplay instead of politics seems to help here.

Hope that helps.
>>
>>2333489
Pretty sure the impersonator faggot showed up malding at Requiem leads in these threads for the first time after Jeff embarrassed himself. How coincidental...
>>
>>2333513
Nah it happened before that too

Especially right before Requiem announced the name change there was alot of namefagging going on.
>>
>>2333079
Counterpoint there's actual content for the other mods to put in an OP for the general so you don't need anyone to make joke images for it.

>>2333513
Jeff had nothing to do with that. Like the other anon said it predates him having anything to do with the team and when he did attack them he used his real Google Drive and Discord accounts to do so. After that fiasco he promptly vanished from the HOI4 community.
>>
>>2333517
>>2333515
Fair enough.

>>2333425
If you want the scoop on Requiem look at the questions they ask in their poll channel. Such as questions about raiding, air force balance, 2wrw balance, their new Infantry Fighting Vehicle unit class, armoured cars, which US presidents should be replaced, takeout trees yes or no, polls about multiplayer stability, and regional difficulty balance.

Oh and an example of a modernized Petlin portrait and asking if it's better than the old one.

Seems to me like they are working on all of that behind the scenes and polling the community for feedback

They do it because they hate the mod they hijacked and the userbase they inherited. Once you understand this and the fact that they just want to retell historical events it all makes sense.

Because then they'd be a worse and more irrelevant Kalterkrieg.

If you care about TNO and HOI4 gameplay. If all you want to do is to write about historical socialist politics and anti-colonial struggles in Africa in the 60s, then it makes sense, doesn't it?

Most of the people that actually got the demo made are gone and only Frost remains. Considering his track record, there's a pretty good reason to assume that it's just completely dead.

So I played the requiem south africa and I gotta say I wasn't impressed. The ANC and Boers have no content and the game ends after the war. There were like 5 focuses for each outcome of the war which was nice but not enough. I didn't really care for 70% of the events which the game bombarded me with.

It suffers from the same design flaws as the base TNO. It spends too much time polishing a tiny time period and blueballs you at the end. If the writing was spread out between different paths and longer scale it would've been good but I don't want to read 100th event about people I don't know doing stuff I don't care about. Even in visual novells you get to make choice and different routes have different content so this is not a critique of VN in HOI4 but of how this VN is implemented
>>
>>2335163
Makes sense sense the mod tries to be a compromise between 2024 TNO and old TNO. Doesn't mean it always hits the mark. Play Rises Again instead, it's probably more up your alley. Hopefully with time Requiem sees the writing on the wall and moves further away from TNO's design philosophy instead of just putting the brakes on their bad reworks.
>>
>>2335208
RA suffers from another problem which is lack of effort and very low production quality. I think there's something both sides need to learn from eachother. Requiem needs to spread it's wings and move on instead of polishing old piece of demo content from 2020 and RA needs to concentrate on a single country instead of making 400 sloppy paths scrapped together from unfinished code.
>>
>>2335306
Don't you mean the other way around? But yes if so I agree that both mods can get better. I hope they will eventually. At least RA has the excuse of being a solo project and honestly even if they don't always deliver at least they aren't aggressively self destructing like TNO is.

Kino. Insane how we went from that to a generic Muslim collaborator regime led by apolitical opportunistic strongmen or whatever generica Lamounier wanted to turn it into. If you can find their design docs I'm sure the Rises Again dev wouldn't mind implementing them. That seems to be his mission in life, picking up the gold nuggets that the devfags throw into the garbage bin and winning big.

From my knowledge The duces are basically unchanged policy wise, They just needlessly expanded their trees and added minigames
>>
>>2336835
We got leaks last year proving otherwise. Germany and Italy weren't enemies any more but more skin to competitors that respected each other's boundaries. This makes the choice of Duce matter less and locks in their forpol when the original plans were more dynamic. Another victim of Germany's plot armor really.

In their Twitter announcement of the US rework last summer, they stated 'next year'.
Highly unlikely, given how notorious this joke of a mod is at releasing updates (and especially those with full content, the last one we saw almost three years ago with Silicon Dreams)

speaking of foreign policy in the region, The geo politics of italy’s sphere is actually pretty interesting. They have a monopoly on middle eastern oil along with control of global trade via the Suez. The italians would be making so much money from their oil revenues alone that massive infrastructure investments and social safety nets are not a financial burden. Their only real competitors in terms of oil production are the americans since the Germans don’t export their oil considering they only have baku and iran and the japanese have so little they just prefer to buy italian.

I think it's to insult the devs. There was one that had the Schorner doc, said it was just a gutter Goring, and posted tidbits proving it while saying it was shit and that Lamounier was a fag. "It's not even worth leaking" seems to be a new thing for team members.
>>
>>2337037
The only things the italians really worry about is the turks taking a bit of that oil revenue, The germans can’t really get a piece of the oil other than backing iran and its interests. If anything the germans probably don’t compete with italy in the middle east but in africa over algeria and french africa’s abundant uranium reserves

This is what the Oil Crisis and backing the Ba'athists is for.
Shame the devniggers want to de facto remove it.

Ba'athists used to be NatSoc in game until some retarded communists on the team whined about blackwashing minorities.

Is literally no minor country capable of earning any amount of profit except via decisions and the only way to stave off debt is to conquer new lands? The fuck were they thinking with this economy system?
>>
>>2337394
Former dev here. There were people on the team that wanted you to be able to be able to construct buildings that'd contribute to your growth. All of these ideas were shot down by Lam (the code lead) with only the infrastructure contribution to growth sneaking its way into the mod. If the gameplay gang had it their way you'd have equivalents to the office buildings in TFR except they'd also contribute to your development growth too depending on what you built. This refusal to let you (or the AI) directly impact the economy is why almost all countries without focus trees constantly get into debt crises and it's also why they have to bolt on a new economic mini game in every update.

tldr one man's bad decision ruined the economy system and made every update take 10x longer to make.

Removing the rivalry between Germany and Italy would be such a braindead decision. It would be such an interesting setup to have Italy become the fourth superpower and leverage its oil wealth to finance proxy wars. The oil crisis would even work perfectly as an existential threat to them in the late game.
Removing the rivalry also makes Germany's geopolitical situation less interesting as Italy aligning against them would be the most immediate threat against them that doesn't come from inside the Reich.

I normally do not post here, however just to give some insight into what affects atleast the initial gdp generation:

I think italy and the reich are still rivals, At least by current lore it’s just that the italians still begrudgingly trade oil and industrial goods with the germans. also I think italians encourage jewish settlement in palestine which I definitely don’t think the germans like. By my reckoning they seem to be rivals who begrudgingly tolerate one another and try to keep out of each others hair until the oil crisis
>>
>>2337432
>Keep out of each others way until the end of the planned reworked content that's been in dev hell for half a decade
Might as well be neutrals that pretend the other doesn't exist with how much impact it'll have. It's also completely retarded of them not to allow them to even try to improve their odds when the crisis hits.

Total TNO L.

>Remove Atlantropa
>Be forced to rework all of Italy and all of the Triumvirate because its entire reason for existing is gone
>Be forced to re-rework Germany's forpol because you no longer have a reason to be enemies with Italy
>Re-rework both Italy and Germany to have them fully align with this new timeline you created
>Gain nothing lose the unique map and several conflict opportunities
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
>>
>>2337505
Regular Triumvirate would already have a struggle competing with Germany, and then if you add Atlantropa their major ports become worthless and in exchange they gain barren salt plains and slow desertification of all lands around the Mediterranean.
Also Atlantropa'd Mediterranean looks like shit.

Also, I don't think Atlantropa dam would survive long enough to be anywhere near completion. Even with direct German intervention to guard it if they wanted to, it would be a matter of national survival for every country in the Med to the point Italy would drop a nuke on it with Spanish consent because a total war with Germany would cause a lot less long term damage.

>>2337511
>They wouldn't be competitive as a reason
>Now they no longer compete
God forbid that we'd have an interesting underdog story about the 4th aspiring world power beating the odds. That might actually have been interesting. At every step of the road they made the stupidest, most boring decision imaginable.

Just have Hitler publically call all mediterraneans subhuman and you get a split.
>>
>>2337637
He already did that in Mein Kampf. Not saying I disagree with you but the German racial politics alone could justify a split.

Instead, we get nothing ever happening.
>>
>>2337731
wasn’t it a gradual process starting with italys non enforcement of the final solution which dampened relations and then the alpine crisis which officially soured relations between the two? They may be rivals but italy is probably smart enough that they can only push germanys buttons so much before the teutons repeat the sack of rome
